Connie Renner (American, Contemporary). Oil on board, ca. 2000s. Signed by the artist on the lower right. A beautiful figurative painting with an equestrian theme by award-winning painter and pastelist Connie Renner. Renner has depicted two riders giving their horses and themselves a rest in the picturesque countryside. The landscape is lush and verdant, delineated with loose brushwork in Renner's Impressionist manner that lends itself to wonderful light effects. In addition, Renner is a skilled colorist and uses her rich palette to bring her subjects to life. It is also easy to see that Renner forms a deep connection to her subjects. With each work, she accepts and realizes the following challenge, "How can I communicate that I am in love with what I am painting." (Connie Renner, Artist Statement) Size of painting: 16" L x 20" W (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) Size of frame: 21" L x 25" W (53.3 cm x 63.5 cm)
